Georgia won the men's team title at the NCAA track and field championships on Friday in Eugene, Ore.

USC dominated the highlight reel.

The Trojans lit up the night with three collegiate record performances despite the rain and chill at historic Hayward Field.

—Sophomore Michael Norman predicted that it would take a sub-44 time to win the 400 meters, and he delivered, stopping the clock in an NCAA-record 43.61 seconds, the fastest time in the world this year and the No. 6 time all time.

—About 25 minutes later, junior Rai Benjamin smashed a 13-year-old record in the 400 hurdles, running 47.02 — the fastest time in the world the world this year and tying Edwin Moses as the second-fastest ever.

—The Trojans were not done. One hour after the 400 hurdles record was set, the USC 4x400 foursome — senior Ricky Morgan Jr., Benjamin, freshman Zach Shinnick and Norman closed out the men's competition in spectacular fashion. Norman, eyeing a record, closed hard to anchor the win in 2:59.00, taking more than half a second off a 13-year-old mark.

—In the end it was Georgia, almost overshadowed by the records, that takes home its first NCAA track and field crown.

The Bulldogs got big points in the field from Denzel Comenentia when he won the hammer and shot put on Wednesday, and third-place finishes from Keenon Laine in the high jump and Kendal Williams in the 200 meters on Friday.

Georgia ends, for now, the Florida dynasty, stopping the Gators' run at two consecutive titles.

The women close out the meet on Saturday, and Georgia could make it a sweep.

The Bulldogs will have Keturah Orji in the triple jump — as sure a bet as there is; Lynna Irby in the 400 and 200; Louisa Grauvogel, who leads the heptathlon after the first day; and Tatiana Gusin in the high jump.

Kentucky has a chance to chase, led by Sydney McLaughlin (400 hurdles) and Jasmine Camacho-Quinn (100 hurdles). The Wildcats should score big in both relays as well.
